Managers aren’t always Leaders. With Executive Coaching you can improve your leadership influence, build trust, and inspire those who work for you. Plus you add margin to your own life by working “on” the business, not “in” the business.
Help your team grow by building an atmosphere of trust. Using our proprietary “Team Trust Model” you leverage the power of creating a high trust team environment.
Improve your company performance with business coaching, producing reliable and sustainable results. Gain insights from an experienced banker who has seen all kinds of business challenges.
Doug is an incredibly effective Leadership Coach. I worked with him this past year and learned so much about my leadership style, but more importantly learned how I could take it to the next level. The greatest takeaway is that leadership is a journey. Doug provided me with numerous tools to use and what is amazing is even after our sessions had ended, he continued to check on me. The term Servant Leader applies to Doug. He is not only a practiced and accomplished leadership coach, but also helps you understand the psychology behind your style and how to improve.

I had the privilege of being coached by Doug. He epitomizes a great leader; a servant leader. Doug is humble and willing to sharing his experiences to help others reach their potential. As a coach Doug helped me manage self and manage up. Doug empowers everyone he works with. So fortunate to have had the opportunity to work with Doug.

I have had the great fortune to work with and learn from Doug Thorpe in difficult situations where pressure was intense and success or failure of the mission depended upon leadership quality at the top of the organization. Doug is unflappable and in the most difficult of circumstances he always provided a clear head, forward looking guidance, sound coaching in all directions, and a cheerful spirit. Doug is a problem solver and a teacher at heart.
